Overview
This document will guide you through the process of configuring Vega series of Gateway’s to work with Switchvox. There are two major installations - 1) T1/E1/BRI and FXO for Trunking solutions, 2) FXS for Analog stations. This document will focus on FXS Analog Stations.
Introduction
For Analog Station solutions. Vega Gateway to Switchvox Configuration Guide provides detailed information about the configuration requirements in Vega series of Gateways Vega 60G, Vega 3000G and Vega 3050G. A typical deployment connects POTS phones to the FXS interface of the Vega Gateway and the Vega connects to the Switchvox IP-PBX, registering all of the FXS Extensions to the Switchvox.
Analog Extensions
Bringing POTS Phones into the Vega Gateway and Register the Extension onto the Switchvox. Each FXS Line will individually Register to the Switchvox. This will allow the Switchvox to call each Extension on the Vega.
Switchvox Configuration
General Configuration
The Switchvox will typically have a Static IP or Fully Qualified Domain Name. In this configuration we are defining the Vega Gateway FXS Lines to individually register to the appropriate Switchvox Extension. From there the Switchvox will accept calls from the Vega Gateway FXS Line, and also make calls to the individual FXS line on the Vega.
Manage Extensions

NOTE: Although the out-of-the-box Vega Gateway obtains an IP Address dynamically, it is recommended that Gateways use a Static IP Address. Configuration of Static IP will be done in each section. |
Quick Config
Quick Config is the Vega Gateway's configuration Wizard. The Wizard asks some specific questions related to the nature of your installation and upon Saving Configuration, the Wizard will complete the programming of the Vega Gateway, through the entire Expert Config. This document will focus on the Quick Config wizard and any supplemental Expert Config requirements. All Quick Config are the same across all Vega Gateways, although specific to Analog or Digital options for corresponding Gateway interfaces.
Quick Config
When you login into the Vega Gateway, the System Status page is seen,
Click on Configuration

Click on Quick Config, a Warning will pop up, reminding you that any Edits here will overwrite the config. Click Continue
Quick Config - Step 1 - Basic Configuration
First step in the Quick Config wizard, items such as Country, Time Zone, Emergency Numbers and LAN Interface details,
...
Deselect "Obtain IP Settings automatically Using DHCP"
Enter in the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, DNS Servers and NTP Server

Quick Config - Step 2 - VoIP
This section is where the Switchvox is defined, as well as the behavior with the Switchvox.
General VoIP Configuration - Registration Mode
...
SIP Server IP/FQDN: Enter the IP Address or Fully Qualified Domain Name of the Switchvox
SIP Server Port: Enter the SIP Port of the Switchvox - 5060 is most common
SIP Server Transport Mode: Select the Transport being used. UDP/TCP/TLS
SIP Accessibility Check: Select Options
Registration/Authentication ID: Because Registration Mode is FXS Port, there will be no single Registration to the Switchvox, each FXS Line will Register - you cannot edit this field
Authentication Password: Because Registration Mode is FXS Port, there will be no single Registration to the Switchvox, each FXS line will Register - you cannot edit this field
...
Quick Config - Step 3 - FXS
This section is where the Vega Gateway Analog interfaces are defined, here is where each Switchvox Extension with Authentication Username and Password are provisioned.
...
Port: This is the Line Port #
Enabled?: Enable/Disable the port - Enable
Enable Caller-Id Generation: Enable/Disable the CallerID on the FXS port. Use the Caller ID Type Information for protocol type. Enable.
Numeric Caller ID: When originating a call from this FXS Line, this is the Numeric Caller ID - This is the Extension Number
Textual Caller ID: When originating a call from this FXS Line, this is the Name Caller ID - This is the Extension Number
Telephone number(s) to route to the FXS interface: When the Switchvox calls the Gateway, this is the number the Gateway will match to call this FXS Line. Enter the Extension Number.
Registration and Authentication ID: Select Numeric_ID, this uses the value in the Numeric Caller ID field. - This is the Extension Number.
Authentication Password: Enter the same Phone Password from the Switchvox into this field for the corresponding Extension.
Save Configuration
You are done. Press Save Configuration.
